I recently tried to get a massage from 7 spa in morris but they told me i have to be 22. is this a common thing? I answered honestly when asked because i assumed that I was old enough. would most places card you? what are some recommended places that have a lower age limit?

Down in southern IL, St. Louis/metro East area you can get worked on if you are 18. better have ID to prove your age, tho.

near chicago they asked if you are 25, i think it goes by your looks rather then age.

Most young guys can't afford the ladies price points. So some places will set age limits to avoid the issue. If you really want to get in, pull out your wallet to show them your ID, but accidentally show that you have a lot of bills, they may change their minds and make an exception for you. But then, if you show them that you have a lot of bills, they may just take you for a ride, and probably not a good one.
